I have a few "email clients" on my server that have
their mail forwarded to a yahoo account. It is often
the case that there is a delay from a few minutes to
several hours. Seems Y! are very busy/successful....
Actually, I suspect side-effects of their attempts to
stem the tide of spam.
The "good news" is that they seem to always clear/accept
the messages, eventually.

It doesn't seem like domain keys.
I tried logging to yahoo mail servers with
telnet mx3.mail.yahoo.com 25
and the pattern is that some of the times (about 1/2)
it sends "delayed" and immediately shuts off.
A series of shuts can be up to 8-12 long, but withing
a few seconds (2-5) after a series of continuous retries
it's always possible to get a good connection.
So it's a matter of number of retries and delay size
between retries. If such parameters are configurable
and feasible to change on the sending mail server.

The forum engine is working fine.
It seems that yahoo does not like jsoftware. The message logs contain
several entries like the following. I don't know why this is,
particularly since the messages are eventually delivered.
postfix/smtp[18257]: 2D47D74C6A3: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
relay=mx3.mail.yahoo.com[4.79.181.12], delay=15475, status=deferred
(host mx3.mail.yahoo.com[4.79.181.12] refused to talk to me: 451 Message
> temporarily deferred - 4.16.50)
